TEXAS -- A pit bull is in quarantine at the Katy animal shelter, after a homeowner in the 5300 block of Lincoln Town Drive reported that a dog killed his cat and bit him on the legs.
Police were called about the attack around 10:15 a.m. on Jan. 5. The homeowner said he tried to rescue his cat when he found it in the jaws of one of three dogs running loose in his yard.
The homeowner suffered bites that broke the skin on his legs, and drove himself to the hospital.
Assistant Police Chief Tim Tyler said the dog was picked up and would be in quarantine at least 10 days.
A homeowner in the 1000 block of Dollins Street also reported a dog bite that occurred on Jan. 2, involving his 23-year-old son. The bite required stitches on the young man’s hands and arms. The Rottweiler-pit bull mix was reported as a vicious dog, but left with its owner.
